John Rofe “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell Dear Politicians, I wish you and your family and friends each a Happy New Year. On the 23rd of December 2021, I sent you a warning
Recently, The BFD reported on the rich kids funding eco-terrorism. The scions of the global elite, such as the Kennedys and Gettys, are using their unearned, inherited wealth to fund more and more extremist environmental groups openly threatening violence to push their cause. The backing for these nascent eco-terrorists reaches
Mining billionaire Andrew Forrest has made his fortune entirely by literally shipping large chunks of Australia over to the world’s largest carbon emitter, to be turned into gigatonnes of carbon belched from steel refineries. But he totally cares about “saving the planet” from “catastrophic climate change”, donchaknow. It’s
Elon Musk seems a strange kinda guy, who generates love and hate in equal measure. For myself, it’s a bit of both, depending on what part of Musk’s empire we’re talking about. I despise the fact that most of his money has come courtesy of the taxpayer.

Since readers of The BFD are extremely concerned about the extraordinary damage CO2 is doing to our fragile wee planet, we here at The BFD are immensely proud to be able to introduce you to the solution. From now on, you will be able to sleep easy at night knowing
I recently reported on Australia’s feckless, spoiled rich kids who try to atone for their unearned wealth and essential uselessness by splurging mummy and daddy’s fortune on endless woke political causes. Most especially, climate change. But, hey, they could be worse. Another spoiled, useless rich kid, Osama bin
Thomas Sowell has written that one of the most destabilising forces in modern times has been second-generation-bourgeois “intellectuals”. These are people who inherited the hard-won wealth of parents or grandparents, and who are often the first of their families to attend university. Lacking any real struggle in their lives, and
Every time I think we’ve reached peak climate stupidity, the climate cult goes right ahead and proves me wrong. The latest lunacy from the fool’s parade who’ve been glueing themselves to roads and infuriating commuters with their fancy-dress parades is a monumental folly to be dumped in
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com A month before it began I wrote slamming the Glasgow climate conference as a show-ponies’ parade of parasites, epitomised by the NZ Green Party’s leader, Shaw, taking 10 no less delegates at readers expense. There is no way that can be explained other than
David Wojick cfact.org David Wojick, Ph.D. is an independent analyst working at the intersection of science, technology and policy. CLINTEL has produced a very interesting trio of open letters, with one each to heads of government, young people and climate scientists. Most open letters that challenge alarmism are
As I posted recently, the emergence of WWI-era Alpine bunkers previously buried under ice raises an awkward question or two. If, as the Climate Cult insist, glaciers in retreat now is because of human-induced global warming, what caused them to obviously retreat far enough for soldiers to dig bunkers over
In a movement characterised by lies, propaganda and ignorance-dressed-as-certainty, it’s hard to single out any particular falsehood as the One Big Lie of the climate change movement. But, if I had to, I would almost certainly nominate “the science is settled”. This is a lie, on its own face:

As we all know, there’s nothing a corporate green loves so much as the green of taxpayer’s money. They’re not so keen, however, on paying their “fair share” of tax themselves. The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) will release its final decision this Thursday on new rules
Electric cars are supposedly the wonder-transport of the future. Except that, as I’ve previously posted, the reality falls far short of the hype. On an environmental analysis, there’s little support for the claim that EVs are “better for the planet”. Nor is there much of a moral case
